Guitar Hero World Tour (and Metallica)

[Cashed]

I'd say Rock Band's weekly downloadable content trumps song creation and a high-hat and cymbal portion of the drum set, though that's assuming everybody owns a PS3 or 360 and is enjoying the complete version of Rock Band already. So if you're planning on buying GHWT for the Wii over Rock Band for the Wii, I can see your stance. If you aren't going to get downloadable content it would be nice to be able to create your songs (no matter how clunky it is, the option is good to have with no DLC) and Wii owners are gaga over online play in any shape or form, whereas for me online play in a game like Rock Band isn't very important at all. It's a party game, it's meant to be played in the same room as your friends. I've played a versus match online a grand total of once, and only occasionally do I join up with my friends online to form a band for a few hours.

kinda off topic but Guitar Hero Metallica confirmed!

[Viroxor]

Hah, wow. Didn't they already put up most of Metallica's albums for download between GH3 and Rock Band anyway? I know Blackened and Fade To Black are DLC for RB, Enter Sandman's on the setlist, and One is on GH3. How much more are they really going to do? This is getting kind of old now.

 

[easy mac]

i personally want to buy this game and try it out. i highly doubt that rock band gear will be compatable with gh4 because they are competing with each other. as for create a song i know for a fact that will blow. its not going to really be create a song like it says it will be something stupid and wasteful. plus you would need to import lyrics,a drum chart, bass chart, and guitar chart. way to much work if it was made properly. but oh well i guess i will see when it comes out.

 

[ShaolinAce]

I was never good at guitar Hero while my 6- 12 year old brothers were pros. So I'll end up playing this and losing to them..

 

[bnasty]

my cousin and i are going to play this game the day it comes out.

Sounds good so far. I would love to see 'The Pretender' on GH4, even though it was DLC on GH3. But, we'll see. Hm, people still listen to Korn? Meh. And ew, Smashing Pumpkins... Billy Corgan, double ew.

 

[Deleted member]

And Jimi Hendrix. You can't forget the greatest guitarist of all time.

 

[Kirin]

3) Protest The Hero - Bloodmeat (that'll be quite a challenge)

That would be badass to play! They need Protest the Hero in there.

 

[DARKALONDITE]

Does anyone know if the other Wii Guitar Hero guitars will work with this game?

Well, looks like SD cards are the space solver.

The company's CEO, Karthik Bala, said, "That's right! Guitar Hero World Tour will be the first Wii game to offer downloadable songs through an in-game music store. Players can preview, purchase and download songs using Wii Points and we'll have new songs available on a regular basis.

"Players can either download songs to the Wii System Memory or store songs on a SD Card, called the "Rock Archive". When you want to play songs from the Rock Archive, players can create a custom set list, and then choose a venue and play!"

The music will be stored in a compact, custom Wii format, Bala added, and in the future, the company might be interested in releasing exclusive Wii-only tracks to complement the multi-platform downloadables and the 85 master-recordings which will feature on the disc from day one. "That's a lot of music," said Bala.

The amount of people who played GHIII online on Wii was surprising according to Bala, and he added, "This year, we've really expanded the multiplayer options to eight players, either head to head (e.g. 2 vs. 2, 3 vs. 3 or Band vs. Band), cooperative or online career modes."

Nintendo has an interest in seeing the Guitar Hero games succeed on its platforms and has been working closely with Vicarious Visions. "Nintendo is a great partner to work with," said Bala. "Guitar Hero World Tour is requiring a lot of work on both the hardware and software side, so Nintendo's been working closely with both RedOctane and Vicarious Visions to make it a great title for the Wii platform."

Nintendo's recommended approach of employing a wired USB microphone in World Tour has been adopted, but the guitar and drum periperhals are completely wireless thanks to the use of the Wii Remote.

"The Wii is definitely a platform that appeals to a wide variety of people," said Bala. "A big part of Guitar Hero's success has come from its accessibility and broad appeal. In a way, it inherently overlaps with the Wii audience and their interests.

"Having said that, we are working on some Wii specific features that I can't quite talk about just yet."

Well, looks like SD cards are the space solver.

Doesn't look too bad, as long as the music can be directly played on the disc without having to move songs around. Nintendo needs to update the Wii so it can read memory directly from SD cards.

 

[Crimson King]

So, the picture of the drumset had 5 pads - 3 toms of Red, Green, and Blue and two cymbals of Orange and Yellow. So, this means no bass pedal? If so, that pretty much kills any hopes of Rock Band stuff working with this.

 

[Deleted member]

No, there's a bass pedal.

Pfft, course not. Rock band made sure you couldn't use GH guitars, it's not surprising that GH won't let you use rock Band stuff.

 

[Wrath`]

Man and I almost bought rockband, hmm this might be worth the wait.

 

[KirbyForAll]

You can use GH guitars for Rock Band. But yea, I doubt it will be the other way around.

[Darkslash]

I was about to get Rockband wii but now this looks promising. You know what would be a awesome Nintendo Remix would be?

[Raider 88]

Tool (at least three songs and a dedicated venue)

Wow. If this is true, I just might have to buy this game...

 

[Crimson King]

One thing pretty much confirmed - the drums for Guitar Hero will not work with Rock Band and vice versa (GH has two cymbals for yellow and orange, unless the shading was off, and three pads. If the shading WAS off, I never saw a screenshot with the pedal), one thing never addressed - Will DLC from GH3 work on GH4? I ask more so because if it works with GH, Rock Band has to follow suit for Rock Band 2, and I spent a lot of money paying for extra stuff, and I'd like to play that RB2.

 

[Squall LeonHeart]

Lets hope they have seperate packaging for each of the instruments. I don't wanna be paying 200 for the whole **** thing. If they do this it would be great, I'd love to play drums on some Korn songs.

The DS and the Aerosmith games weren't enough and they came out with this. Marketing at it's finest.

 

[Mic_128]

CK, can't remember where, and I'll try and find it, but I've seen a picture of GH4 drums with a pedal.

 

[Crimson King]

So there are two cymbals for yellow? Odd, but that's relieving that it still may be cross compatible.

I just HAVE to know if the GH DLC will work on GH 4.

How about the first post?

 

[Engel]

I'm pretty sure it's one cymbal for yellow and one for orange. I also heard a rumor that the Rock Band 2 drums would see some sort of "improvement" which makes me wonder if RB1 drums wil be compatible >_>
Although I don't think RB2 has even been officially announced yet so who knows what it'll be like at all >_<

I've also heard conflicting rumors from sites about the DLC compatibility for both games >_> I've seen at least one say yes and others say no so again it looks like a simple wait and see what the official word is :\


Oh and I think there's a nice 3d view of the drums on www.guitarhero.com

 

[SU_Remo]

A little bit of GH4 news:

http://www.joystiq.com/2008/07/10/activision-dreams-up-guitar-hero-music-platform-to-rival-itunes/

So, the GH Tunes service is to be good as, or better, than iTunes Music Store? Those are some big words, Activision. I certainly hope they can back them up because if so... oh man, it'll be so nice. As Joystiq said, I really hope they can get the whole weekly DLC thing down at launch, then they can worry about the other stuff.

 

[Mr.GAW]

I think a huge flaw in the drums design is no bar along the base of the set to keep the bass pedal steady. On Rock Band, sometimes I end up moving my whole drumset so far in front of me I have to pull it back on bass heavy songs. That pedal is gonna be moving all over the place, I guarentee it.
